Create virtual host at your host file for ubuntu

Add new line, for example

127.0.0.1	mydomain.local

Create virtual host at your host file for apache

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-mydomain

Add directives

	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	ServerName mydomain.local

Restart apache

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Check if your new domain is working at http://mydomain.local/

sudo tasksel
